What Your Favorite Bag Brand Says About You

We all have our preferences, and those preferences are all revealing in ways great and small. And that includes handbag preferences—because designers use their ideas to create particular moods are evoke particular images within shoppers, it's natural that different brands will attract different kinds of people, even if there's plenty of overlap in personal collections. (Which is why personal collections are so interesting—they paint a picture of an individual's whims and preferences over time!)

So today, in honor of National Handbag Day, we're here to make some conjectures about big brands' most ardent fans, all in good fun. If your favorite brand isn't named below, let me know in the comments and I'll see if I can come up with a decent enough joke just for you.

Louis Vuitton

If you're a millennial or older: You still feel an occasional twinge of nostalgia for Uggs, "Return to Tiffany" tag necklaces, and just the ambient mood of the year 2007 in general. Don't worry, we all do, even if we don't admit it. If you're younger: You have two different finstas, one for your girlfriends and one for dudes.
